This site on an iPad

4-8 weeks ago a technical change appears to have been made to this site. A consequence is that the site is virtually unusable on an iPad unless Javascript is turned off.

This results in the site being much more usable but with niggles such as being unable to use the world icon for posting links and no preview window.

The biggest downside however is issues with 95% of other websites not working properly meaning having to go into settings and switching back on Javacript.

Can anyone suggest a possible remedy or can the techies at PCA please please sort this out.

Perhaps the PCA techies are now back and could comment on these problems please.

I have no problems on Nexus using Boat Browser. In fact it is quicker than on the PC.

But I have noticed that on the PC I have to wait almost 10 seconds after changing pages or threads before I can scroll

down. Been like this for a month or more.

Yet the Aeroresource site that is full of photos, and other sites, load immediately in FF 17.0.01

Pages here are slow to fully load,its a few seconds before I can click anywhere on a page which continues to the next and so on.

I'm trying out the Mercury browser on the iPad. It loads this siter reasonably quickly but had to wait for the response box to open. May be worthwhile having a go with it.

Just found its built in ad-block which seems good.

The ad-blocker is not on by default and can be found under settings.

Just given it a try and there is no improvement on viewing this site, still terribly slow loading any page.

I've not found it to be too bad. How good is your wireless/download connection?
